sesk Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) If anyone wants to use this in C#, here is how I did it: class ImageHelper { [DllImport("ImageSearchDLL.dll.32bit")] //or 64bit as you choose private static extern IntPtr ImageSearch(int x, int y, int right, int bottom, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]string imagePath) ...and then later on IntPtr result = ImageSearch(top, left, right, bottom, imagepath); String res = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(result); if (res[0] == '0') return null;//not found String[] data = res.Split('|'); //0->found, 1->x, 2->y, 3->image width, 4->image heigth resX = int.Parse(data[1]); resY = int.Parse(data[2]); Edited November 28, 2013 by sesk
Tormiasz Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Don't have how to check this but anyone tried using it with window's that are not on top but still active?
seanbrockest Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I have tried for the past few days, but cannot get this working. I've isolated my code to literally just look for a black square of pixels on my black desktop background, but it always returns 0. (no pun intended) Has anyone had any recent success with _imagesearch ? If so, please post a small snippet of code that you can confirm will return 1, so i can run it on my machine, and see if there is some wider systemic problem. Edited June 15, 2014 by seanbrockest

BrewManNH Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Add this line to the top of your script - #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n The DLL appears to be a 32 bit version. NOTE: BTW, you probably could have troubleshot this yourself without asking the question if you'd taken 10 seconds to add some debugging to the UDF and/or your script. I found out that it won't run as a 64 bit process by finding out that the DLLCall, in the previous line to your error, returned -1 meaning the DLL can't be used. Added the line above and that fixed the issue. Also, if you don't have the DLL in your script directory you're going to get the same error, the UDF uses a relative path for the dll filename. Edited August 5, 2014 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

The Dll file is in the script directory C:Program Files (x86)Autoit3Include. When I type _ImageSearch in Scite I am not getting the visual helper popup screen that tells me what I need to put in for the function to run which makes me think that the AU3 file is in the wrong place. Is there a 64 bit version of this DLL file out there somewhere? Regarding the troubleshooting, I don't know how to go about doing that even though I just read what you did. Also since this isn't in the installation of autoit by default I want a google searchable solution so others can get the answer without asking.

BrewManNH Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Is the DLL in the same folder as the imagesearch UDF file? Have you tried troubleshooting this yourself to see where it's failing? Add some consolewrites/msgboxes in the ImageSearch UDF file where it's failing to see why it gives you that error message instead of just reposting your script and telling us it still doesn't work. Scite4AutoIt3 comes with a handy debugging hotkey (CTRL+D) that will let you see what values a variable holds as the script is running. Click on the variable name, and hit CTRL+D and then save the file, and run your script. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
